Went and cycled around Edinburgh just there. Dull.
There's about 110 anarchists. With drums. Sticking it to the man, in a very hemmed in kind of way.

In context: there's about 200 police vans. And about 3000 police officers.

Unless, much like Bannockburn in 1314, there's a hidden battalion of picts hiding up the Mound (ooh er) waiting to join in and fight, there's going to be no violence and looting whatsoever.

Ooh
I hates those anarchists. Going and demonstrating about something they genuinely believe in instead of unthinkingly endorsing the system that keeps them nice and comfy.

And about 10 police officers
are doing nothing, other than chatting up the girls that work in La Senza on Princes Street. Oh for a camera! Lazy pigs!
